Determination on the carrying capacity in the Main Trail of Cicuta’s ARIE, Volta Redonda-Barra Mansa, Rio de Janeiro, Brasil

The present study was carried out in the ARIE of the Cicuta Forest, Barra Mansa and Volta Redonda (RJ). The objective was to determine the tourism tarrying capacity of the Main Trail of the ARIE, generating an estimated number of visitors per day, and to evaluate the management potential to complement the Management Plan. The method proposed by Cifuentes (1992) was applied to determine the tourist carrying capacity. The present study demonstrated that the trail is relatively well aligned with the National System of Protected Areas (SNUC). The Effective Carrying Capacity was 208 visitors x day-1. This study may contribute to the process of updating the ARIE Management Plan, but should be complemented with other studies (Acceptable Exchange Limit - AEL, Visitor Impact Management - VIM, etc.).
